In a
world where urban living spaces come at a premium, the Japanese are masters in
achieving maximum comfort in the minimum of spaces. Cultivating the same
principle to offer the perfect bathroom experience for the urban Filipino
lifestyle, the Maxi-Compact, S200 LINE is a design concept born through this
approach, maximizing both comfort and functionality within compact spaces. With
INAX human-centric innovation and insightful design, Maxi-Compact achieves the
ultimate balance of usability, beauty, and spaciousness in modest-size
bathrooms.
Inspired
by the Japanese rituals of water, the INAX S200 LINE bathroom collection
reflects the brand’s design values of
Essence, Sophistication, and Thoughtfulness to transform the bathroom
experience of modern Filipinos living in compact urban spaces. The collection
articulates all the functional essentials of an everyday bathroom that cater to
the busy and fast-paced urban lifestyle.
Essence maximizes user comfort through functional
products that complement confined spaces. Sophistication
provides a modest touch of simple luxury to a compact environment, while Thoughtfulness echoes the considerate
quality of the collection for fuss-free everyday life. The S200 LINE delivers
the philosophies and values nurtured over the years by INAX to improve the
daily lives of Filipinos.
Upholding hygiene and cleanliness
Culturally,
the Japanese are known for ingraining hygiene and cleanliness in their
values. The S200 LINE demonstrates these
values in products that are easy to clean and fuss-free in maintenance.
The
one-piece and close-coupled toilets both feature the proprietary INAX Aqua
Ceramic technology, which inhibits waste attachment and watermark build-up. The
powerful vortex flush pushes the water out from two top openings, resulting in
a stronger flush and cleaner bowl.
With
just one quick sweep in the rimless interior, the toilet bowls are kept
pristine and clear. The toilet exteriors feature a curved skirted design for
easy cleaning and the dual flush buttons are designed to encourage water-saving
usage through the application of INAX Blue color, clearly indicating full or
half flushes when in use.
Maximizing comfort and convenience in minimal spaces
Widely
known for mastering the use of small spaces, INAX addresses consumers’ arising
demand for comfort whilst in compact urban spaces. The S200 LINE toilets come
with shorter depths to create more bathroom space for ease of movement. For
enhanced comfort, the toilet seats are put through rigorous comfort tests and
feature comfortable seats that are wider for the perfect user fit.
For
utmost convenience, the S200 exposed shower system has a mixer that doubles as
a tray for showering necessities like soap and shampoo. It is also designed
with a side hook for hanging other bathing essentials. Switching between the
overhead shower and the hand shower is simple with an intuitively designed
control. The large SQUOVAL-shaped overhead shower envelopes the user in a
full-body shower, while the Aqua Power pressure booster hand shower delivers an
indulgent experience even in a low water pressure condition.
Functionality meets design and sophistication
The S200
LINE collection includes semi-countertop and wall-hung compact-sized basins
that feature ample rimmed decks for placing daily necessities. Designed with
INAX expertise and craftsmanship, the basins’ shape and depth prevent water
from splashing out – ideal for multi-purpose use like hand washing delicate
linen.
These
basins in the S200 LINE collection are engineered with the Aqua Ceramic
technology, a super-hydrophilic layer on top of ceramic products to make
maintenance effortless for easier and more enjoyable everyday life.
The
collection features a basin mixer that ensures an even better washing
experience with an elevated spout position. In fact, the aerator’s adjustable
angle makes the S200 LINE basin mixer compatible with a vast range of basins. A
slight indentation on the underside of the basin mixer’s handle provides an
easy grip even with soapy hands. For a more intuitive use, the signature INAX
Blue color appears each time the mixer is in use.
Finally, the basin mixer’s tapered base makes it a breeze
to clean and wipe down.
All
these attentive design details make for a pleasing bathroom experience.
Comfort and compactness in one
Engineered
for optimal performance, the S200 LINE one-piece toilet offers a new smart
combination of comfort and compactness. The toilet is slightly shorter in height from the bowl to the top of rim
which is what sets it apart from typical toilets of similar types.Its convenient height makes the bathroom feel more spacious and easy to
move around. At the same time, it is designed to provide urban spaces with
plenty of room for additional comfort—its 840 mm wide toilet depth, 1600 mm
height, and 720 mm width allow more clearance at the front especially in
minimal spaces and this has been verified through rigorous comfortability
tests. It is specifically designed for
practical urban living, where bathroom space may be limited.
The artisanal world of aesthetic bathroom tiles
Complementing
modern Filipino living while still upholding the century-old heritage of producing
high-quality tiles, the S200 LINE collection allures modern vertically
patterned tiles specially designed to create visual spaciousness in smaller
bathrooms. Inspired by bamboo forests which have long been a symbol of
enlightenment and flexibility to Filipinos, these artisanal tiles instill fresh
lightness into an enclosed space. S200 LINE truly presents exquisite Japanese
aesthetics and function in space-limited Filipino bathrooms, supporting comfort
and convenience for busy lifestyles.
